Update on The root's transition

To The Root Social Justice Center Community ~The Root is in the middle of a transition. We are switching from a combo of office collective and accessible community space to a racial justice organizing hub (the accessible community space will still exist!). As part of this transition we are moving from a monthly calendar email to an actual newsletter. This is our first newsletter!Our transition to an organizing hub couldn’t be more timely. The new Root Organizing Collective members and Advisory Board will be starting in January 2017, at the same time as a US president with connections to the white supremacist movement will begin his new term in the White House. We don’t yet know what this presidency is going to mean for social justice organizing. However, it is clear that now more than ever, we must join together to stand strong with frontline communities. Our Muslim, LGBTQ+, Immigrant, Women, Black, Indigenous, Jewish, Poor and Working Class neighbors will be under attack both from policies and on the streets. And the earth that we all live on is in grave danger from reckless climate change denial.In this area there is an amazing community of people committed to justice and basic human rights for all people and the planet. Together we are strong. The Root is currently in the process of coalition organizing and there will soon be ways for many people to plug into actions that have a collective impact. Stay tuned!As always, we welcome donations, volunteers, and your presence at the amazing events that happen at The Root throughout the year.In Solidarity,Shela, Alex & Angela
